Activated platelets play a role in blood coagulation by exposing phosphatidylserine (PS). Antiplatelet drugs have been found to have inhibitory effects on platelet impact in clot formation and PS exposure.
Activated platelets are involved in blood coagulation by exposing phosphatidylserine (PS), which serves as a substrate for assembling coagulation complexes. Platelets accelerate fibrin formation and thrombin generation, two final reactions of the coagulation cascade. We investigated the effects of antiplatelet drugs on platelet impact in these reactions and platelet ability to expose PS. Washed human platelets were incubated with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), ticagrelor, ASA in combination with ticagrelor, ruciromab (glycoprotein IIb-IIIa antagonist), or prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). Platelets were not activated or activated by collagen and sedimented in multiwell plates, and plasma was added after supernatant removal. Fibrin formation (clotting) was monitored in a recalcification assay by light absorbance and thrombin generation in a fluorogenic test. PS exposure was assessed by annexin V staining using flow cytometry. Ticagrelor (alone and in combination with ASA), ruciromab, and PGE1, but not ASA, prolonged the lag phase and decreased the maximum rate of plasma clotting and decreased the peak and maximum rate of thrombin generation. Inhibition was observed when platelets were not treated with exogenous agonists (activation by endogenous thrombin) and pretreated with collagen. Ticagrelor (alone and in combination with ASA), ruciromab, and PGE1, but not ASA, decreased PS exposure on washed platelets activated by thrombin and by thrombin + collagen. PS exposure on activated platelets in whole blood was lower in patients with acute coronary syndrome receiving ticagrelor + ASA in comparison with donors free of medications. These results indicate that antiplatelet drugs are able to suppress platelet coagulation activity not only in vitro but also after administration to patients.
